While the reality is that whites are attacked left and right in the media. And the attacks are intended to dehumanize whites and justify our disappearance from the population.

very much so. it's all about the narrative. whether it actually happened and all the man-hours that are wasted on investigation of nothing become irrelevant and are quickly forgotten.

It's already gospel in the Church of the Left and anyone who says otherwise will be excommunicated immediately.

I know what he's telling us in the third sentence. He's a heroin user.

Have there been hoaxes? Sure. Plenty of idiots out there. But there has been a significant rise in hate crimes in the last few years. The majority don't make the news.

Meanwhile, this guy is still in the hospital last I heard. All you guys calling this a hoax while complaining about the left jumping on the Covington kids? Maybe slow your roll.
What I found funny about this post is that just to the right of it is a Twitter box showing tweets from the founder of this forum. You should probably look at it and what is said in regards to this alleged attack.

Not only have police found no witnesses, they don't even have a description of the attackers.

https://twitter.com/AJGuglielmi/stat...48863892934657

Add in everything else that doesn't add up, and of course people are going to be skeptical.

He had a scratch and bump on his face in one image. Have you ever seen what a person looks like after being beaten on? If these alleged attackers were angry enough to put a "noose" (not really) around his neck and pour bleach (alleged substance) on him, you think they were only going to leave him with a scratch and a bump?

Every time I come back here there's more that ask us all to completely and totally suspend reality.

TMZ made it out to be 2 Trump supporters who yelled "This is MAGA country" - which I find absolutely absurd coming from one of the liberal dens in the nation. Because there was a "noose", it's now "2 White Trump Supporters" and Don Lemon calls this a "modern day lynching" - even though it "wasn't necessarily a noose", even though no racist is going to have a clue who this B actor is, they aren't going to have a clue about the show that he's on, and as katy so perfectly pointed out pages ago - the temps were very, very cold that night - at 2am - do you all think people were walking around in nothing more than jeans and sweaters? The alleged attackers can't be identified because they were covered up. Do you think this actor wasn't bundled up? Not only is he a B actor unknown to a lot of people, especially "racist Trump supporters", he's going to be in a lot of clothing making it even more difficult to recognize him.

I do not deny that maybe it's possible that something happened to his face at some point, but maybe his alleged attacker is his coffee table, or maybe it was someone he knew, or maybe it was something else completely, but to sit there and expect me to believe the story that is out there right now? No. Absolutely not.

I guess I'm excommunicated.

I remember Pastor Jordan Brown and Dayna Morales.

Hoaxers give the left a bad name. I hold them accountable.

Please link support to your claim that he is still in the hospital.

Yes it happens quite often among gays. There was a case in the DC area where I live of a teacher that would troll gay hookup cites, invite strangers into his home. He'd leave the door opened and the strangers would walk up to his room and do whatever they do. Except the last time he did it, 3 guys from the hood came over, killed him and took his credit cards.

Would you even come up with such a premise if the guy wasn't gay? Of course you wouldn't !
No because if it was straight guys a woman would be involved, in the setup.

You MAGA supporters sure do have a creative mind but hey why not you believed Trump when he said Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

Yes i support Trump but the MAGA angle really isn't significant to me. The story seems fake. Some of us are street smart we grew up among liars and hustlers. We can spot them out fairly quickly. We can also tell when something doesn't sound right. This doesn't sound right.
